Lost images I have an Olympus C-740 with an Olympus XD 128MB picture card. After taking numerous photos they are not on the card when I go to download.

Photos taken now not visible on memory card.
I'm currently on vacation and have been taking photos on my DMC-TZ5. Camera has been working fine, until yesterday.
I took a number of photos of a particularly memorable day when none of the group had a camera with them. Every time a photo was taken the image was displayed for a second before being able to take another shot. A number of times I went back to check the photos, each time the photo was visible.
However, when I returned home and p

Image error hie, after taking about 20 photos, my canon refuses to take photos. it says unidentified image thus the picture appears small and i wont be able to take any more photos, how do i fix this?

I have an SP500-UZ. In the mode where you can take five shots in a row, it takes three and the shutter drags on the fourth and then it takes an unusually long time to be able to take another photo. Normally, the screen goes black after the last photo, but it doesn't now.

The speed with which your camera can process multiple pictures in sequence is affected by the quality (SHQ,SQ,HQ) setting you select. Try reducing the setting to the next lower one and you should find the problem goes away. Good luck. ...

Someone asked me to take photos with my Nikon D90. I have the 18-105mm lens that I got with it. Is this able to take 'wide angle' photos?? I know there are special lenses made specifically for wide angle photos, but is this one capable of doing so?? Thanks for your answer...sorry if I seem so ignorant....I'm new at this. Thanks again!

The 18-105mm lens at the 18mm end of the zoom range is a pretty fair wide-angle lens. Look through the viewfinder and turn the zoom ring (the big wide ring at the front of the lens) one way and then the other. The 105mm end is the view that looks lik ...

Dim Photos My G3 has begun to take very dim photos, all iso speeds are affected plus Auto mode. It can barely focus, even with the assist light on. If it was the light meter (setting too high an aperture?) it would probably be able to focus, right. When I take a picture it always sets f2.0 1/60 sec, even at iso400. Is it the image sensor?

Put the camera in to the full auto mode. If the pictures are still dark, it is possible that the apature inside of the lens is not working. There is a micro-motor, gear assembly, iris leaf assembly, and a servo amp circuit that drives the apature. Th ...

Corrupted Pictures? There are times when I'll take a "long" photo (1200X1600 dimensions). The camera will take the picture. I will be able to view it on the camera. I'll download the picture to my computer (Windows XP). The download will work fine. I'll go to the folder where the picture is and I can see the thumbnail of the picture. However, when I double click the thumbnail to view the full image the picture won't open.

Will I be able to plug in my camera in Europe or must use a converter plug adapter?
Do I have to buy a memory card to be able to take any photos at all or is a memory card just for adding larger memory for more photos?

Most adapters that ship with digital cameras are universal voltage in that they will handle 110 or 220, however you will need an adapter to make sure you can plug into the outlets. Luggage shops are a good source for power adapters. As for the memory ...

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1. Once I transfer the media cards pictures onto the computer and then re-insert the card into the camera, all pictures seem to have been deleted. However, when I take the media card to Wal-Mart to be developed, all pictures are displayed on their photo printer. My question is, "Why are my pictures not able to be viewed inside the camera once pictures have been transferred to the computer, but is able to be viewed on a photo printer at Wal-Mart?" Kathy
